In a way, we can think of us having twin engines when we earn both Hive and LEO for the same post.
New Hivers sometimes get confused when they encounter information about different rewards in their layer 2 interface, such as Leo Finance. They will wonder what that is, and how it works, and ask why they are receiving these extra tokens.
For example, they see one record of payout on PeakD:
And then see another value on Leo Finance as follows.
This is a quick explanation.
If you post something on Leo Finance, or uses the #leofinance tag, if someone who upvotes your post also has LEO powered up, then you would get votes and its value in terms of LEO.
This is on top of your rewards in the Hive base layer.
If you post something without using the #leofinance and outside of Leo Finance community, even when someone who has LEO powered up upvoted your post, it will not earn rewards in LEO.
Don't take my words for it. This is an example.
This is clickable and has a reward https://hive.blog/hive-150329/@onboarder/advice-for-those-who-aspires-to-build-up-a-career-writing-in-hive.
But since it wasn't posted in Leo Finance and had no #Leofinance tag, this link is unclickable: https://leofinance.io/@onboarder/advice-for-those-who-aspires-to-build-up-a-career-writing-in-hive
What are the lessons learned? Clearly, the key one is that if we should post in Leo Finance or use its tag if it is related to the aims of the community to earn extra rewards in LEO.
But have you picked up another point?
If you had powered up LEO, you will not be earning the curation rewards when you upvoted posts which does not satisfy these conditions!
Learning how to tune your twin engines will help you fly higher!

HIVE, HBD, LEO, POB, VYB, ALIVE, BEE... all in one post...and the list goes on. Luckily the learning curve flattens out with the more you know about HIVE.
There will be more for me to discover. Maybe POB next! :)
